POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, STRUCTURE, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:RADIO/TAPE DECK/CD ETC.
THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WILL NOT DOWN SHIFT. WHEN THE CONSUMER WAS PULLING ONTO THE FREEWAY, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED BECAUSE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *AK WHEN THE SUN SHINED ONTO THE DASHBOARD, THE REFLECTION REFLECTED ONTO THE WINDSHIELD AND CAUSED AN OBSTRUCTION AND DISTRACTION TO THE DRIVER'S VIEW. THE CORRECT MODEL YEAR 2004. FROM THE PARK POSITION, THE CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO GO UP AN INCLINE. THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT ENGAGE TO LOW GEAR FOR THE POWER TO MOVE UP THE HILL. THE CONSUMER HAD TO BACK DOWN THE HILL. THE RADIO WOULD GET STATIC WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS, AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE LOWER PANEL WAS COMING APART. *SCC *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
I WOULD LIKE TO ADD MY COMPLAINT TO THE LONG LIST YOU ALREADY HAVE ABOUT THE BROKEN BOLTS ON THE FRONT AND REAR MANIFOLDS. I HAD THREE BROKEN STUDS THAT NEEDED RE-DRILLING AND ONE BOLT THAT ONLY NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE MANIFOLDS WERE WARPED AND HAD TO BE REMOVED AND PLANED. TOTAL COST WAS $756.16. THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING WAS A LOUD RATTLE NOISE. WHEN I ASKED THE MECHANIC ABOUT NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM I WAS TOLD IT WAS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. THERE APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT IN THIS ENGINE MODEL. I UNDERSTAND IT IS ALSO PREVALENT IN THE PATHFINDER AND OTHER NISSAN MODELS. WHEN I CALLED MY NISSAN DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. NISSAN SAID THEY HAS ISSUED A TECHNICAL BULLETIN ON THIS ISSUE AND FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE RELATIONS THEY WERE FIXING 1994 PATHFINDERS WITH THIS PROBLEM IF THEY HAD 100,000 MILES OR LESS. *JB

I HAVE A 2001 NISSAN QUEST, SINCE I RECEIVED THE VEHICLE FROM THE DEALER IN MARCH OF 2001,THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR KEPT JAMMING ANYWHERE FROM 1 TO 3 DAYS AT A TIME, AND WOULD UNLOCK AT TIMES WHILE I WAS DRIVING, THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR WINDOW WOULD POP OPEN WHEN YOU CLOSED THE DOOR. I FINALLY TOOK THE AUTO TO WESTBURY NISSAN ON 10/07/2002 REGARDING THIS PROBLEM WHILE I WAS COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY,THEY CHARGED ME $23.70 FOR THE REPAIR OF THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WINDOW WHICH WORKED FOR ONLY TWO WEEKS AND I FINALLY TAPED THE LOCK SHUT. NOW THE DRIER SIDE SLIDING DOOR JAMMED AGAIN ON 9/14/03 AND THIS TIME THE OUTSIDE SLIDING DOOR HANDLE BROKE OFF IN MY HAND. DEALER WANTS $300. TO REPAIR. *JB

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
I RECENTLY EXPERIENCED COMPLETE AND PARTIAL TIRE WALL SEPARATION ON 3 OF 4 CONTINENTAL TOURING CONTACT A/S P215/65R-16 TIRES DURING ONE 1200 MILE TRIP. THE TIRE WALL SEPARATION OCCURRED ON MY 2002 NISSAN QUEST WHICH HAD ONLY 9500 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE THREE TIRE WALL SEPARATIONS OCCURRED SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED RESULTING IN TWO NEAR-SERIOUS ACCIDENTS AND COLLISIONS. UPON INSPECTION BY A NISSAN SERVICE CENTER AND LOCAL TIRE DISTRIBUTOR, TWO TIRES WERE FOUND TO HAVE VERY OBVIOUS AND TOTAL TIRE WALL SEPARATION AND ONE TIRE WAS FOUND TO HAVE PARTIAL SEPARATION. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF ANY TIRE PUNCTURES OR OBVIOUS DAMAGE THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THE TIRE WALL SEPARATIONS. DESPITE THE VEHICLE BEING UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY, THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNWILLING TO ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY ASSOCIATED WITH CONTINENTAL TIRE FAILURE. UPON CONTACTING THE CONTINENTAL CUSTOMER SERVICE HOTLINE, CONTINENTAL TIRE WAS UNWILLING TO OFFER ANY FORM OF REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE DEFECTIVE TIRES THAT LEFT ME STRANDED IN TWO STATES BECAUSE THE REPLACEMENT TIRES WERE REPLACED WITH NON-CONTINENTAL TIRES AND REPLACED AT AN UNAUTHORIZED CONTINENTAL DEALER. THE ONLY COMPROMISE THAT THEY WERE WILLING TO MAKE WAS TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE TIRES WITH ANOTHER CONTINENTAL BRAND TIRE IF AN AUTHORIZED CONTINENTAL TIRE DEALER VERIFIED THE TIRE WALL SEPARATION. DUE TO THE OBVIOUS DEFECTIVENESS OF THIS BRAND OF CONTINENTAL TIRES, I WAS UNWILLING TO JEOPARDIZE MY FAMILY'S SAFETY BY PLACING ANOTHER CONTINENTAL BRAND TIRE ON MY VEHICLE. *PH
